Happy Bereavement!

 Yes that is the weirdest title ever.  I'm OK with that.

When my FIL died in November, I was unable, nor was it really necessary for me, to take bereavement time.  When we laid him to rest in mid-December, I chose to use PTO, as I had so much to use up.  According to work policy, based on his relationship to me, I have 7 days of bereavement leave to take, and we are allowed to take it in separate increments within 6 months.  

With the new system safely in at work, I decided to take this week off and just be.  I'm only logging into work, if it all, after 9pm because I won't work for 3 hours.  I do have work on my phone, so I have been scanning things, but there hasn't been anything earth-shattering.  

So far, I've updated my recipe book, I've sewn together my Little Cotton Rabbits (LCR) bunny, made them some shorts and started to shovel out Renee's room.  I've scheduled 3 different internal audits for various groups that I am affiliated with.  I'm getting caught up on personal email.  

So a good use of time.  I do have an errand day planned and I do need to leave the house for a few other things, but a very much low-key restful set of days.
